_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Density, distribution function, quantile function and random
     generation for the Pareto distribution with form parameter 'xi'
     and scale parameter 's'

_U_s_a_g_e:

     ppareto(q, xi, s=1, lower.tail=TRUE)

     dpareto(x, xi, s=1)

     qpareto(p, xi, s=1, lower.tail=TRUE)

     rpareto(n, xi, s=1)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

      xi: form parameter of the Pareto distribution

       s: scale parameter of the Pareto distribution

lower.tail: logical; if 'TRUE' (default), probabilities are P[X <= x],
          otherwise, 'P[X > x]'

       q: vector of quantiles

       x: vector of quantiles

       p: vector of probabilities

       n: number of observations. If 'length(n) > 1', the length is
          taken to be the number required. 

_V_a_l_u_e:

     'dpareto' gives the density, 'ppareto' gives the distribution
     function, 'qpareto' gives the quantile function, and 'rpareto'
     generates random deviates.
